Hello, it is wonderful to connect with you! I want you to know that whatever life challenge is in front of you now, I believe there is hope. My desire is to be able to listen and encourage you during this season of life. I want to foster a relationship of trust in order to promote a life change that you can feel passionate about. I am an alumni of the Focus on the Family Summer Institute and a graduate of the McDaniel College Masters Program in Counseling in Westminster, MD. I have 7 years of combined School Counseling and School Therapy experience and 8 years in the clinical counseling field. I currently work with clients 18 and up.
I take a holistic approach to counseling because I believe the heart, mind, body, and soul are connected. I love helping people get to the root cause of their issues and help them develop a path of hope, healing and freedom for whatever they are dealing with. We will look at creating rhythms of health physically, mentally, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. I have worked as a personal trainer and strength coach for over 12 years and am able to guide clients on nutrition, exercise, and weight loss. I am Certified in EMDR Therapy through EMDRIA for Trauma work.
I counsel from a Biblical perspective properly integrating love/grace, and truth meeting you where you are in your walk of faith. I help connect the dots between faith and psychology and help create practical steps towards change.
Life is full of hard and stressful situations, I welcome hard questions if you are struggling in your faith.
I partner with New Life Ministries as a speaker, writer, and facilitator. Recently, I was a guest presenter with Debra Fileta at her recent seminar as well as led her RESET Your Physical Health Group. I have studied under Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and am a certified Brain Health Coach with Dr. Daniel Amen. I love learning and growing! I will never stop:).
I look forward to meeting you! Peace Be with You!
